Definitions
- the present invention relates to the forming of chocolate into a desired shape more particularly to a process for forming of chocolate in a solid or semi-solid state.
- EP-A-93114251.7 also describes an injection moulding process where the temporarily flexible extruded.product is injection moulded under pressure at a temperature below the normal melting point of chocolate.
- This injection moulding process is substantially isothermal and subsequent cooling is therefore unnecessary so that the product is suitable for demoulding immediately after the injection moulding is complete.
- thermal contraction does not necessarily occur and, in some circumstances, demoulding and obtaining a high quality surface finish may be difficult to achieve.
- the present invention provides a process for forming an extruded fat-containing confectionery material which comprises feeding the fat containing confectionery material into an extrusion device and applying pressure to the fat-containing confectionery material in a solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable form upstream of a flow constriction whereby the temperature, pressure, contraction ratio and extrusion rate are such that the fat-containing confectionery material is extruded isothermally and remains in a solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable form and which has a temporary flexibility or plasticity, characterised in that, while the extruded product exhibits the temporary flexibility, the extruded product is pressed, or deformed into the desired shape by passing between the nip of a pair of counter-rotating rollers, or compression moulded by placing a measured amount (either a weighed amount or a cut length) of the extruded solid product into the cavity of a compression moulding tool, closing the tool under pressure to compress the extruded solid product
- the moulds may be cooled to assist demoulding by hardening of the extruded solid product.
- the moulds may be polished or surface treated, e.g. Teflon coated , to assist demoulding and to enhance the surface finish.
- demould mechanisms such as stripper plates, compressed air ejection, pins, etc. may be employed to assist demoulding.
- the compression moulded extruded solid product may be, for instance, a solid 3-dimensional shape or a hollow shell, especially a thin-walled shell such as an Easter Egg.
- the product so formed may then, if desired, be wrapped or further processed, e.g. filled with one or more other foodstuffs, preferably a confectionery foodstuff such as a dessert, wafer, caramel, fondant, ice cream, etc.
- the present invention leads to a compression moulded extruded solid product in the form of a hollow shell filled with at least one other foodstuff, e.g. one or more of ice cream, wafer, caramel, fondant, biscuits, praline jelly, etc.
- at least one other foodstuff e.g. one or more of ice cream, wafer, caramel, fondant, biscuits, praline jelly, etc.
- the pressing device can be manually operated with levers, or pneumatically or hydraulically powered.
- the compression pressure will depend on the degree of plasticity of the extruded product which is controlled by the extrusion conditions, the number of pieces being formed (i.e. there could be a multi-cavity press), the complexity of the shape and the size of the piece. In some cases, hand pressure is sufficient to press the chocolate into the shape of the mould.
- a further advantage of compression moulding a temporarily flexible solid extruded product according to the present invention is the possibility of using "in-mould packaging" where a food-grade lining material, e.g. a packaging film, such as described in co-pending GB-A-95 04686.8 can be placed in the compression moulding tool prior to addition of the piece of extruded solid product.
- a food-grade lining material e.g. a packaging film, such as described in co-pending GB-A-95 04686.8
- the extruded solid product may also be pressed, for instance, by stamping or punching.
- the extruded solid product may be deformed by passing between the nip of a pair of counter-rotating rollers provided with corresponding surface depressions to plastically form the extruded product into the shape conforming to the shape of the surface depressions and releasing the formed product from the nip of the pair of counter-rotating rollers.
- Counter-rotating rollers suitable for deforming the extruded solid product in the process of the present invention are commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industry for a range of products, e.g. boiled sweets, chocolate lentils (Smarties centres), biscuits and drug capsules.
- the cavity formed by the two corresponding circumferential depressions of the rollers may be almost any desired shape, provided there are no "negative angles" which would prevent the shaped product from releasing from the cavity, e.g. spherical, ovoid, discoid or cubic.
- the surface of the cavity may be engraved or embossed with any desired pattern which is to be imparted to the surface of the fat-containing confectionery material.
- the temporary flexibility or plasticity of the extruded product enables the product to be physically manipulated or plastically deformed before it loses its flexibility or plasticity, so that it may completely fill the cavity in one piece without leaving gaps or without crumbling in the cavity.
- the formed product emerges from the nip of the counter-rotating rollers as a series of shaped sweets which are normally and advantageously held together by a thin web of fat-containing confectionery material, e.g. having a thickness of from 50 to 100 microns.
- a thin web of fat-containing confectionery material e.g. having a thickness of from 50 to 100 microns.
- the presence of this web helps to pull or demould the sweets from the cavity surface of the rollers. It is not essential to have a web holding the sweets together. However, if there were no web, in order to obtain separated sweets, the rollers would have to be held together under a very high pressure and this would lead to increased wear of the rollers in a continuous operation.
- the rollers may, if desired, be cooled, e.g. to -15°C, preferably to from 5° to 15°C, for instance by means of the circulation of a cooling medium e.g. water or a water/glycol mixture through the central axis of each roller.
- a cooling medium e.g. water or a water/glycol mixture
- a slight cooling e.g.to up to 5°C, may improve the release of the shaped product from the cavity by preventing sticking.
- the series of shaped sweets held together by the thin web is advantageously treated to remove the web, for example, by feeding into a rotating cylindrical sieve to remove the web by a tumbling action to leave separate sweets.
- the sweets may then be packed or fed to a further downstream process.
- the final product does not require cooling after the forming has occurred.
- the formation of chocolate centres for "Smarties” may be carried out without the requirement for the high cooling capacity of the current roller system.
- the use of continuous counter-rotating rollers is faster than injection moulding for a given shape because the the cavities at the nip are continuously opening to allow entry of the product, closing to mould the product and opening to allow release of the moulded product.
- the rollers may be made of a suitable rigid material such as metal, e.g. steel or a plastics material, e.g. polycarbonate.
- the final shape of the formed product depends on the shape of the cavity and its surface features.
- the extruded solid product may be deformed, for instance, by bending such as passing around a rotating spindle to form a shape like a spring or a Swiss Roll: the Swiss Roll shaped product may, if desired, have a filling in which case the extruded solid product may be passed around the rotating spindle together with a layer of a different product such as fondant, praline or ice cream which forms the filling.
- substantially isothermally in this invention we mean that the temperature of the fat-containing confectionery material remains substantially unchanged under the conditions of the extrusion from the input to the outlet of the flow constriction and during forming if there is no external heating or cooling means: the use of external heating or cooling means is not excluded as long as the material being extruded remains in a substantially solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable state throughout the extrusion and forming. In other words, the temperature of the fat-containing confectionery material is not caused to increase substantially by the extrusion or forming process itself.
- the fat-containing confectionery material may be, for instance, plain, white or milk chocolate or chocolate substitutes containing direct cocoa butter replacements, stearines, coconut oil, palm oil, butter or any mixture thereof; nut pastes such as peanut butter and fat; praline; confectioner's coatings used for covering cakes usually comprising chocolate analogues with cocoa butter replaced by a cheaper non-tempering fat; or "Caramac” comprising non-cocoa butter fats, sugar and milk.
- the forming temperature may be from as low as 0°C to about 35°C depending on the composition, particularly the amount and type of fat present.
- the forming temperature may be from 10° to 34°C, more usually from 15° to 32°C, preferably from 18° to 30°C and more preferably from 20° to 27°C.
- the forming temperature may be from 5° to 28°C, more usually from 15° to 27°C, preferably from 17° to 26°C and more preferably from 19° to 25°C.
- the forming temperature may be from 5°C to 30°C, more usually from 15°C to 28°C, preferably from 18° to 27°C and more preferably from 20° to 26°C. It should be understood that, in this invention, when the chocolate is formed at a temperature from 28° to 34°C it is in a solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable state after being previously set hard in contrast to chocolate which has not been previously set hard such as recently tempered chocolate which is usually still pasty and pourable or flowable at such temperatures.
- an extrusion device 10 comprises a hydraulically driven ram 11, a barrel 12 having an internal diameter of 25 mm, a hopper 13 containing chocolate buttons 14, a feed opening 15 and an extrusion die 16 with a nozzle 17 having a cross-section of 5 mm diameter.
- a pair of counter-rotating rollers 18 are provided with circumferential depressions 19 which correspond at the nip to form a cavity 20 downstream of which is a cylindrical sieve 21 rotating on its horizontal axis.
- the chocolate buttons 14 are fed through the feed opening 15 into the barrel 12 and the hydraulic ram 11 is advanced at a pressure of 80 bars and at a temperature of 23°C.
- a semi-solid non-pourable rod 22 of chocolate of 5 mm diameter is extruded through the nozzle 17 which is then fed into the nip of the counter-rotating rollers 18 where it passes through the cavity 20 and is formed and then released from the cavity as a series of shaped sweets 23 held together by a web 24 of chocolate.
- the web 24 On passing through the rotating sieve 21, the web 24 is removed by a tumbling action and the chocolate sweets 25 are separated and released for packaging or further processing.
- solid chocolate buttons 40 are fed into an extruder 41 and extruded in a similar manner to that described for Figure 1 to produce a rod 42 of temporarily flexible non-pourable or non-flowable solid extruded chocolate.
- the rod 42 is cut into slugs 43 which are placed in the tool cavity 44 of a compression tool 45.
- the tool closes at 46 and compresses the slug 43 so that it is moulded into the shape 48.
- the compression tool opens at 47 and the moulded shape 48 is ejected by tapping it out.
- Figure 3 illustrates a similar process to that of Figure 2 except that a preformed packaging film of 400micron polyvinyl chloride 44 is placed in the tool cavity before the slug 43. In this case, when the mould is closed the slug of chocolate is formed into the packaging material and ejected together with the packaging material.
- the ejected moulded product in either Figure 2 or 3 may, if desired, be filled with one or more of ice cream, wafer, caramel, fondant, biscuits, praline jelly, etc. before closing with a layer of chocolate.
